McCain’s female supporters like Mary Matalin should be ashamed of themselves
Once again, reading comprehension skills are seriously lacking. The bill in question had nothing to do with equal pay, but rather how long a woman could wait to file a lawsuit. In this case, the woman waited 19 years to file her lawsuit.
So? She didn’t exactly wait 19 years, she only found out about the inequity when she was retiring.
Is Colmes actually growing a pair? Evolution hard at work once again.
Nonsense. She knew. She claims she was given below par evaluation performances because she was a woman and that’s why her pay was lower. She should have been filing EEOC complaints during those times, not waiting until after retirement to do so.
Here’s what the Supreme Court said:
Ledbetter should have filed an EEOC charge within 180 days after each allegedly discriminatory employment decision was made and communicated to her. Her attempt to shift forward the intent associated with prior discriminatory acts to the 1998 pay decision is unsound, for it would shift intent away from the act that consummated the discriminatory employment practice to a later act not performed with bias or discriminatory motive, imposing liability in the absence of the requisite intent.
It makes perfect sense. Except to those who idiotically claim McCain is “out of touch” because of his opposition to the bill in question.
I look forward to the many votes McCain will win on his platform of “I’m in favor of fair pay as long as you’re smart enough to file EEOC charges within the specified time frame in triplicate, etc. Otherwise, screw you!”
But at least he’s not an elitist.
I can see Obama’s campaign commercials:
“– Barack Obama: Preserving Lawsuits For Stupid People”
Gee, if anything j should be for that.
Jay: “Here’s what the Supreme Court said:”
Which contradicted what previous supreme courts had said on the matter. Previously the law was interpreted in such a way that the 180 days didn’t start until the person learned about the discrimination. This makes sense, otherwise, as the law stands now, as long as you can cover your ass for six months, you can’t be sued.
While there are a 100 million Republicans who are stupid like you, there are more Americans who are not.
Which contradicted what previous supreme courts had said on the matter.
Actually, this was the first time the Supreme Court had ruled on the issue.
Previously the law was interpreted in such a way that the 180 days didn’t start until the person learned about the discrimination.
Interpreted that way by the EEOC, not the Supreme Court.
This makes sense, otherwise, as the law stands now, as long as you can cover your ass for six months, you can’t be sued.
Actually, you can still be sued under the Equal Pay Act that doesn’t contain the 180 day requirement.
Congratulations once again on proving yourself to be a big time ignoramus.
Thanks again for another link!

Okay, so what are you bitching about?

That people need to improve their fucking reading comprehension skills.
